This week, Scum and Coinops break down some recent news without Shadowlink's guidance, and it goes about as well as you'd expect. We got a crazy hack, game preservation, the Steam Deck, and a headline that drives Coinops absolutely apeshit.

They said it couldn't be done. Who are they? Well, the hosts for this podcast, for one. Yet here we are, back with a review of the 2015 flick Hardcore Henry, a first-person send-up of just about every video game imaginable. And Sharlto Copelys. Or is it Sharltos Copely? The episode does not answer this particular question. Hit us up here: patreon.com/neondystopia https://twitter.com/neondystopia h...

This week, the team gets into why the idea of space marines might seem cool, but the practical reality of it might be a bit much, and another huge hack from a group whose name looks like a Resident Evil sequel. Also, CoinOps finds an acronym he actually kinda likes. Referenced article: https://tythos.net/space_oorah.pdf Get ahold of us here: https://twitter.com/neondystopia https://twitter.com/L0w...

This week, it's all about China shutting down Bitcoin mining, internet connected thermostats controlled by energy companies in a state where the energy infrastructure is wildly unreliable, and the magnificent Kowloon Walled City.

This ep, we got a space race for dipshits, an AI that won't hire you, and the joy of speedrunning. Plus, opinions on Bat Man.

This week, the crew gets back to reality, mostly. It starts out pretty wholesome. So there's that.

The Cyberpunk Librarian returns, because he's a champ and totally not because we blackmailed him. We're finishing our insanely long discussion of Super Mario Bros, as well as some of what happened behind the scenes, and how that affected the finished film. Check out Dan's site! https://cyberpunklibrarian.com/

This week, WE'RE BACK, and this time we have special guest Cyberpunk Librarian Daniel Messer along for the ride. We're discussing the oft-maligned but endlessly fascinating disasterpiece: Super Mario Bros. The Motion Picture. Listen along in realtime as the gang slowly loses their minds.

This one is insane. We talk about hacked pipelines, an app Amazon wants its employees to use (but not really), employment and its opposite, when jobs go wrong, rockets falling all willy-nilly, and more.

This episode, Scum discusses an Arundhati Roy article about the hellish situations in India as COVID spirals beyond any hope of containment, Shadowlink gives us a rundown of new releases this month, and Coinops starts talking about local energy weapons but then ends up talking about The KLF a whole bunch. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/apr/28/crime-against-humanity-arundhati-roy-india-covid...

This episode, the trio takes on the underrated 1995 film Strange Days. It's all about that pre-millennium tension, a couple of racist-ass cops, and a SQUID you wear on your head.

This episode, Coinops does a deep dive into the catty little slap-fight going on between QuantumScape, a solid-state battery developer, and Scorpion Capital, a short-selling group that released a report about how all this solid-state talk might be horseshit. Meanwhile, Shadowlink and Scum perform heroically, especially after Coinops' line goes dead for a few minutes due to a suspiciously timed pow...

This week, Shadowlink gets us up to speed on some books and music that that sound legitimately cool, and then it all goes downhill from there. Scum gets into military applications for augmented reality, Coinops links Battlestar Galactica to current problems with TCP/IP vulnerabilities, and no one lets out more than one guttural howl.

This week, the gang meets up with author and video game developer Rob Chant to discuss his influences as well as his upcoming game: "cyberpunkdreams." There will be tangents. Guest vocals from Coinops' pooch, Aesop. Also, we've launched a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/neondystopia And check out Rob's game! https://cyberpunkdreams.com/

This week, we gots a hostage satellite, we gots a Dredd-adjacent tv show, we gots evil corporations fighting against a living wage, and we gots a big-ass boat that jacked up the Suez Canal and then won over our hearts.

The party digs into the state of the 9th console generation 6 months after they were released. This is the most accurate assessment you will find anywhere, on any podcast.

This week, the squad takes on the movie "Death Machine," the first film from director Stephen Norrington, better known as the director of Blade and more recently known as the guy who made Sean Connery quit acting. Come for the witty banter, stay for the moments when everyone realizes they've seen different cuts of the film.

This week, the crew tries to figure out what does and doesn't fit under the umbrella of "cyberpunk music." Hint: It's way, way more broad than you might guess.

This week, Coinops breaks down a New York Times article that discusses "robotic process automation" and its effects on society and the workplace, Scum hates all of it, and Shadowlink is almost reduced to muttering syllables at the mention of the term: "digital workers." Also: a little bit about drones that kill moths. Original article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/06/business/the-robots-are-com...

This week, Shadowlink talks about a totally normal and not at all creepy app that allows a user to stick any face on an interactive avatar, and Scum talks about cops using robot dogs, as well as a weird-ass art collective(?) that used a robot dog in an art installation. Meanwhile, CoinOps screams into the void a couple of times.

The crew digs into the 1995 nanotech/virtual reality sci fi thriller Virtuosity, starring Denzel Washington and, in a star-making turn, Russell Crowe.

In this episode, the crew discusses network security for public utilities, an app used by Amazon to track their employees even while they're clocked out, the state of Cyberpunk 2077 with regards to CoinOps' hard drive, and some recent books, games, and music.

In this episode, we talk about rebranding overtime shifts as a "megacycle," a billionaire who is stepping down (but not really), and the 1995 movie "Hologram Man."

In this episode, Oldman Coinops tries to wrap his head around the whole GameStop/short-selling/hedge-fund clusterfuck with renegade financial operative, Clank. Also: The L0WL1F3 Podcast is now on Twitter, y'know, like the cool kids.
